[Transobturator subvesical mesh. Tolerance and short-term results of a 103 case continuous series]. / La prothèse sous-vésicale transobturatrice. Tolérance et résultats à court terme d'une série continue de 103 cas.

OBJECTIVE: Native tissue plasty for surgical repair of anterior prolapse segment is associated with high level of recurrent defects. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We used a transvaginal polypropylen tension-free mesh fixed through the obturator hole with Emmet needle. We report the results of a total of 103 consecutive transobturator mesh fixations between January 1, 2000 and June 30, 2002. RESULTS: Vaginal erosion ratio is 5% and recurrence ratio is 3% at 18 months post operative follow-up. CONCLUSION: Transobturator mesh is a safe and efficient method for anterior segment prolapse repair.
